That effective-target is defined by this check:

# Return 1 if the target provides a full C99 runtime.

proc check_effective_target_c99_runtime { } {
    return [check_cached_effective_target c99_runtime {
    global srcdir

    set file [open "$srcdir/gcc.dg/builtins-config.h"]
    set contents [read $file]
    close $file
    append contents {
        #ifndef HAVE_C99_RUNTIME
        #error !HAVE_C99_RUNTIME
        #endif
    }
    check_no_compiler_messages_nocache c99_runtime assembly $contents
    }]
}

So it comes from the gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/builtins-config.h header, which says:

/* Define HAVE_C99_RUNTIME if the entire C99 runtime is available on
   the target system.  The value of HAVE_C99_RUNTIME should be the
   same as the value of TARGET_C99_FUNCTIONS in the GCC machine
   description.  (Perhaps GCC should predefine a special macro
   indicating whether or not TARGET_C99_FUNCTIONS is set, but it does
   not presently do that.)  */

and then later:

/* Newlib has the "f" variants of the math functions, but not the "l"
   variants.  TARGET_C99_FUNCTIONS is only defined if all C99
   functions are present.  Therefore, on systems using newlib, tests
   of builtins will fail the "l" variants, and we should therefore not
   define HAVE_C99_RUNTIME.  Including <sys/types.h> gives us a way of
   seeing if _NEWLIB_VERSION is defined.  Including <math.h> would work
   too, but the GLIBC math inlines cause us to generate inferior code,
   which causes the test to fail, so it is not safe.  Including <limits.h>
   also fails because the include search paths are ordered such that GCC's
   version will be found before the newlib version.  Similarly, uClibc
   lacks the C99 functions.  */
